St. Tropez's Vilebrequin Makes a Big Splash

Remember the days when "Point Break" and "Baywatch" determined the accepted sexy style of men's swimwear? Well, we think those days are over.

We all know the Hoff never goes out of style. 

Even when he's crying and eating a cheeseburger at the same time. Tough life.

Looking good on the beach is a lot more than just washboard abs and a golden tan. Even though they'll probably be the only thing you're wearing, swim trunk style is important. We at MyDROBE think you should be wearing Vilebrequin.

Okay, maybe it's still about washboard abs.

The St. Tropez French swimwear brand has been around since 1971. They specialize in making colorfully printed swim trunks that stand somewhere in between the short european style and the american board short.

The price tag can be a little hefty, but honestly, can you put a price on good style? I think not. Some of our favorite celebrities and trendsetters can be seen sporting these colorful little beauties, like Leonardo Dicaprio, Andrea Casiraghi, Jack Nicholson, and even Prince Harry.

Cool look. Now lose the dog.

The best thing about these shorts is that you can tailor them around your individual style. Looking for something simple and elegant? Check. Bright and extroverted? Check.

The brand has opened up stores away from its native France, most recently opening one in Montreal. The hype is spreading, get on it Drobers. Check out some of their trunks right here.

Film Festival Fashion: (Some of) Cannes 2013's Best Looks So Far

The Cannes International Film Festival kicked off this past Wednesday with a screening of a film that has left Drobers lusting over 1920's fashion.  That's right, so it's only fitting that at The Great Gatsby's festival debut, its stars were dressed to be Drobe Approved. 

Carey Mulligan in a beautiful pink Christian Dior gown next to Gatsby director, Baz Luhrmann.  She's also sporting something new, long hair?  When did that happen?  Well it suits Daisy gorgeously.
  

And when the rain fell, an umbrella was the perfect accessory, stylish and waterproof:

And here's Gatsby himself, has the rain ever looked so good?  Well, thats's our Leo...

Other stars who graced day one of Cannes in Dior gowns included Julianne Moore and Nicole Kidman:

Drobe Approved or not? Decide for yourself, but you can't deny the rain and wind complemented her look beautifully.

It's hard to argue that Nicole doesn't do Dior right...well at least this one.

Day two of the festival (May 16th) also provided us with some looks that left us lusting:

Rock and roll royalty: Mick Jagger's daughter model Georgia May Jagger stuns in a red Burberry gown.

The always perfect Emma Watson attends the screening of her film, The Bling Ring in a Christopher Kane dress.

Your Django, MyDROBE Django

All of us at MyDROBE couldn't help but feel intrigued with the release of Quentin Tarantino’s new film ‘Django Unchained’.  Blood, gore, wit, and an all-star cast that is so quintessentially Tarantino, are among many of the obvious reasons.

Drobe Trend: Oxblood + Velvet

But most importantly the costume designer, Sharen Davis, is an Oscar nominee for the film… yes, that’s right, that info was leaked, so have heard it here first or possibly second, but we are okay with that.  And, let’s all agree that we’ll never get sick of Leo in old school garb. 

At MyDROBE specifically, our ‘Django’ intrigue stems from our silly connection.  ‘Django’ just so happens to be the main code used to build our MyDROBE site.  The love and labor put into this little ‘Django’ coding at MyDROBE has forced us to feel an immediate connection with Tarantino’s new film; we love grabbing inspiration from period fashion pieces and it's a great excuse to watch a film with guest appearances by Samuel L. Jackson and Jonah Hill. Yes, I said Jonah Hill.

Either way, we are proud to announce that ‘Django Unchained’ has been #DrobeApproved! Of course, if you are looking for a light, blissful rom-com Tarantino isn’t your guy, but if you don’t know that by now…  How do you not know that by now!?

Drobe Trend: Tiered Trench

Anyway, the costume is sensational and the film sends a deeper message. ‘Django Unchained’ forces us to be uncomfortable and view the abhorrent characteristics of slavery, while allowing the characters a little vengeance.  But don’t worry, per usual, Tarantino has a way of inserting a twisted sense of humor to keep the viewer from taking the film too seriously; i.e. Jonah Hill’s little entry midway through the film that is bound to make you giggle.

Last but not least, we are always keeping our eyes peeled for fashion inspiration and in this case, taking the cues from the old, making it new, and sending it off to the runway!

Drobe Trend: Satin Bow Ties

Our recommendation: Get out and see ‘Django Unchained’ and if you do, shout out to us here at MyDROBE, working with our own ‘Django’ to make your life just a little more fashionable and continue to Take the War out of your Wardrobe.
